The Occurrence of a Neotropical Hawkmoth in Southern Portugal: Agrius Cingulatus (fabricius, 1775) (lepidoptera: Sphingidae)
نویسندگان
چکیده
During September 2002 a male individual of the hawkmoth species Agrius cingulatus (Fabricius, 1775) was caught in southern Portugal which is perhaps the first specimen arriving unassisted and the third occurrence within the European continent in the last 276 years. The occurrence is discussed with some ideas on its origin.

Mitochondrial genome of the sweet potato hornworm, Agrius convolvuli (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae), and comparison with other Lepidoptera species.
In the present study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Agrius convolvuli (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) and compared it with previously sequenced mitogenomes of lepidopteran species. The mitogenome was a circular molecule, 15 349 base pairs (bp) long, containing 37 genes. The order and orientation of genes in the A. convolvuli mitogenome were similar to those in sequenc...

Australian Sphingidae – DNA Barcodes Challenge Current Species Boundaries and Distributions
MAIN OBJECTIVE We examine the extent of taxonomic and biogeographical uncertainty in a well-studied group of Australian Lepidoptera, the hawkmoths (Sphingidae). METHODS We analysed the diversity of Australian sphingids through the comparative analysis of their DNA barcodes, supplemented by morphological re-examinations and sequence information from a nuclear marker in selected cases. The resu...
متن کاملMegalorhipida leucodactyla (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Pterophoridae): first distribution record from Chile and new host plant record.
The presence of Megalorhipida leucodactyla (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Pterophoridae) in Chile is reported for the first time from the Azapa valley, northern Chile. In this locality, some immature stages of M. leucodactyla were found to be associated with Tessaria absinthioides (Hook. & Arn.) DC., Asteraceae, a new host plant record at the species, genus and family level for M. leucodactyla.
